Also take a look at the VAC PA100/100..big transformers/ power supply and 2ohm taps. VAC proofs these on some large Thiels, so they have plenty of muscle. More user friendly than ARCs and with NOS tubes sound like an amp costing twice the price.
Tube amp for a somewhat difficult load
My speakers are Hales Concept Fives rated at 86db/w/m 6 ohm.
I am looking for tube amps that will give me the tube sound, or is this futile for a speaker of this nature and am I just wasting my money? These speakers need a minimum of 100 watts with solid state. My room is 24 X 16, and I listen to mostly classical music.
